Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “Modification of soils and soil microbes by exotic species also can be an important factor in invasions (e.g. Vitousek & Walker 1989; Ehrenfeld & Scott 2001; Ehrenfeld 2003; Callaway &Ridenour 2004).”
Mediterranean annual grasses in western North America: kids in a candy store (2007, background): “While it has been well established that exotic annual grasses can perpetuate their own environment by fostering increased available nutrients (e.g., Ehrenfeld and Scott 2001; Norton et al. 2003), we must remember, for the sake of ecological restoration, that initial invasiveness is caused by…”
An Exotic Tree Alters Decomposition and Nutrient Cycling in A Hawaiian Montane Forest (2004, background): “Enhanced nutrient availability could then feedback to increase growth of the exotic species, or even increase the invasibility of the system as a whole (Ehrenfeld and Scott 2001).”
Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “…on soil communities and nutrient cycling processes is considered as an important ecological consequence of plant invasions and has received a growing attention (Ehrenfeld and Scott, 2001; Kourtev et al., 2002a; Ehrenfeld, 2003; Hawkes et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2005; Wolfe and Klironomos, 2005).”
Two co-occurring invasive woody shrubs alter soil properties and promote subdominant invasive species (2014, background): “Again, though there is much evidence of invaders altering above- or below-ground communities singly, we have much less documentation of how co-occurrence of invaders might change these impacts (but see Ehrenfeld & Scott 2001).”
Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “…and North America, the Formosan termite (Coptotermes formosanus) in South Africa and the southeastern United States, and the New Zealand flatworm (Arthurdendyus triangulatus) in the British Isles, subterranean biological invasions have gone largely unnoticed until recently (Ehrenfeld & Scott 2001).”
Effects of Exotic Plant Invasions on Soil Nutrient Cycling Processes (2003, background): “The consequences of exotic invasions may, however, include less obvious changes below ground-that is, in the soil (Ehrenfeld and Scott 2001)-and these consequences may in turn have impacts on the invasibility of ecosystems and the invasiveness of species.”
